Not totally convinced Quins RU would want us back given the way that relationship ended. I guess money talks though. However quite how hiring a big stadium, even if only for a few games, fits in with the plan for David Hughes to reduce his financial input season in season may be a bit of an issue

The Stoop? I would have thought DH had well and truly burnt any bridges there a few years ago! TBH it was the last place I was thinking of!
Don't know about DH's finances but would he want to be remembered as the owner who, through a number of factors but in this case a lack of investment, saw London's chance of a SL return blown out by an unsuitable home base?

To be honest, if David thought that going back up would make the Broncos economically unviable I suspect he'd rather be responsible for them not going up and surviving than going up and failing financially.

If the question arises it may come down to whether he can attract another backer on board or can sell up totally to someone / a consortium. Given he only signed off the current 3 years of funding after a plan was created that saw his financial input reduce year on year, it'll take a major change of heart for him to singlehandedly fund another crack at Superleague.

Lets get some perspective here. In 2016 @ Trailfinders we accommodated a crowd of 1524 against Bradford and probably not without issue but ok, and I reckon Leigh will be 2000+

In our final 2 years of Super League @ The Hive, we registered the following crowds, 2015 / 2014

Salford 1246 / 2079
Warrington 1377 / 3041
Wakefield 1017 / 1877
Castleford 1036 / 1810
Catalans 1002 / 1136
Huddersfield 1035 / 1843
Hull 1135 / 1865
Widens 1422 / 2856
Wigan 2013 / 3594
St Helens 1791 / 2839
Hull KR 1084 / 1837
Leeds 1268 / 2377
Bradford 1402 / 1441

17 or 18 crowds on a par with our best of 2016, so with a few tweaks we could cope, although going forward and with a mind on growth might be more of a challenge.

He'll never lose his reputation,simply because he's Hock.As for disciplinary since he's been a player with us.
One suspension (1 game ) last season and this is his first this season matching Naiqama with 3 games.
Not bad for a loose cannon.

Statistics, statistics, statistics. Wes Naiqama is a player who commands respect. Gareth Hock does not.

media.therfl.co.uk/docs/FACILITY ... %20PDF.pdf RFL facilities standards - I understand that the RFL can apply some flexibility but I think it'll need a kind of grand master of yoga sort of flexibility to approve Trailfinders should we achieve the 'greatest comeback since Lazarus' ( copyright Sid Waddell). With our crowds attendances might not be an issue but things like punters, players and officials sharing the same khazis might be. Admittedly this could be got round with sufficient portaloos on hire - but we've been at Ealing since the end of last season and I don't see any move made to do this, certainly not at the last home game I was at ( Haven). As might our lack of turnstiles - although I suppose we could ask Hemel for a loan of theirs when they're not using it!

And shares the same disciplinary as Hock this season.Although Hock will also carry club disciplinary.You asked the question? I gave you the answer.Or did you expect to see something different to your field of thought?

Defend Gareth Hock all you like Atomic. You know, don't you, that you are not comparing like for like, where Wes is concerned. Don't you.

Match officials can use the players latrines they don't have to use the punters loos

That being the case why was I peeing alongside a touch judge and member ( no pun intended) of the Haven bench at the last home game I attended?

Half time a Haven player came off and was desperate to use a cubicle... They were occupied in the public ones so no idea what happened to him but he seemed faster in the second half.

Bostwick, you must be utterly stupid with the remarks that you make. Gaz Hock has settled down and is a real family man. He has taken more dirty punches from so called opposing sportsmen than anyone I have seen, and the dick ed normally punish him cos he is Gareth Hock. So you would rather watch a team without mr Hock in it even if it means being a unsuccessful boring team that cant raise a decent crowd, well I would rather watch his exciting brand of play in my team than anything that London have, English or Australian

Who has rattled your cage LS?

Hock has a history of referee manhandling (continued this season), violence / punching (continued this season), drug misuse, and I am sure other misdemeanours I fail to remember. Family man or not, he is an outright thug, BUT undoubtedly a great talent, and puts the fear of G into the opposition when he has the ball in his hands.

You then go on to make some veiled comments about boring brand of rugby and decent crowds, I assume pointed at Broncos. Boring they are not, as I am sure you will agree when we almost spanked you at LSV earlier in the season. Poor crowds, the old chestnut, hard to disagree, but you dont have to look back too far in the history books to when Leigh were bobbing along at the bottom of the barrel.

Oh deary me very bitter let me know when he carried on with the handling officials apart from the official dressed as a fan or throwing punches not in retaliation did you actually hold the lead at Leigh? We have never been subsidised by the rfl unlike London or been allowed a team of Aussies unlike London
